You should email more than one _administrator_, such as the aforementioned **TubaDiva** or **Lynn Bodoni**. Regular moderators would be unable to do a name change, and could only forward your request to one of the admins. They’ve said you should contact more than one, since it’s possible one of them could be out of town or otherwise out of contact.
